Wow we can't believe it!

We are going to be parents to a little beautiful baby girl!!

Scrapbooking

So my sister in law got me some starting things for scrap booking and card making and I haven't done much scrap booking, but I have made some cards which I love doing. I'm not that good at it but its keeping me entertained while I roam the house for things to do these hot days! I am making the "Thank You" cards for my baby shower and then July is a busy month for birthdays and anniversaries for our family so I have been making those too. I will hopefully get all my pictures printed and get started on scrap booking back to when Nate and I were dating and go from there! Wish me Luck!

(here are some pictures of the cards I have made,remember I just started so there not that good)

Thanks Erica...I've really enjoyed my gift!

Fun In The Sun!

The Boys came over to hang out for a bit so we hooked up this water toy that Uncle Nate got em' and the big sprinkler so they could have some fun in the sun!! Here are some pictures of Zach, Scott, and Connor!

Showing off their muscles and new tattoos!

You put the balls in the yellow part and they roll down to the bottom and shoot out the top with the water!

The Ball just hit Zach in the head :)

Looks cold Scotty!

Happy 4th of July

4th of July 2009

Nate and I went out to his Mom's house in the afternoon for some lunch and hung out with the family there. Then we went to my Mom's house for some dinner and relaxed until around 9....drove down to the highschool camped out and watched the fireworks! It was a nice very relaxing day together! We just couldn't stop thinking about how next year our little girl will be here to celebrate with us! CRAZY!!!

Happy 4th of July to everyone hope you had a great one!

Baby Shower!

Grandma Monica and Grandma Ida threw Zoie and I a baby shower June 20th and it turned out great! It was perfect weather only during the shower! (lucky us) We had salad, fruit, muffins, cake, and much much more to eat! It was so yummy.
